Lowe's carries some paint removal things in the section with acetone made for spray paint. My brother has used Pine Sol for spray paint. Factory paint is much more difficult without hurting the plastic. Which era figures are you trying to use this on?

Acetone works well on the softer plastics (but be careful; always test on parts first) like lower legs and arms. Hard parts are more difficult. I don't have a good answer for those.

I had used nail polish remover and a q-tip to remove factory paint from tunnel rat's arm camo paint. Seems like it was the non acetone type.

So today I got around to removing the paint I had on my figure, I went and used nail polish remover and it came off like a dream.
